well I see no positive changes for tier 8 med players such as myself. what I do see is a continuation of wot setups unfair matchups and additions to lines that obviously do not require additions, much less more tier10 heavy tanks. my m46kr is stuck in over 95% tier 10 games, with zero improvements or changes , that is not what I signed up for when I was desperate to get out of the brit line . further wot continues to add med tier 8's superior to mine ,the t59 is a good example . yeah the m46 is a prem tank ,where in the sales brochure did it say that was a huge disadvantage? I am tired of being 1 shot by tier10tanks and tired of being ammo racked and having a loader killed by a tier 6 med from across the entire field when ever mm rotates to a tier 8 game . Looking at tanks tiered below me in a tier 10 game I can honestly say 90% of the time all of those tanks have at least better armor I can not pen or a better pen with faster loading than my tank . I am sick and tired of bounces , crit hits and now moving quickly up the line is what has been referred to by other players as ghost shots . I will not play in tier 10 games when there are more than 5 heavies especially when 3 or 4 are tier 8. grinding is ridiculous, takes entirely too long.

so we get tanks that are decent but in their haste teh 101 is worse the 100m1 is worse, the 263 is playable albeit not that bad, but good lord the screw the line no one is going to even grind to the new td due to their ignorance on the problems with the line

It isn't a swap if you already have the tank they are swaping...read the post. I have the Obj 263 and the SU 122-54. So...when the 263 moves to Tier IX I get the Obj 263 4 added to the acct. THEN....since I already have the SU 122-54 I get the Obj 263 added to the account....but gee....it is already there....then the SU goes away.....so I am out all the research and silver for the SU 122-54. Think you follow....or should I type slower?

​I too thought I be getting my full amount of credits and exp that I worked when I ended up having both in my garage now I get squat which is total BS when every other tank that was removed went to premium status. I ended up putting a ticket in to complain as they did not specify that they would not compensate if you had both and if I recall from past changes they did compensate if you had already both but that was a long long long time ago when WG was awashed with cash...

The medium is good enough, but it isn't too fast or too accurate, as usual for the soviets has no gun depression, so it's not OP, but a sort of soviet blend of 121 and 113.

The TD has some strong sides (mostly frontal armour and mobility), but it has its weak sides (dpm, alpha, accuracy and side armour), so it's not OP

The HT is definitely the worst of the 3: Obj. 705A only stands out for its alpha. The penetration values are not bad but it's nothing above the norm for tier 10 heavies, while the weakness negates any possible upsides at this point: it has a too weak hull armour (especially the front and especially the lower plate which is basically 140 mm thick cheese, worth around 240 mm effective armour) just like the tier 9 predecessor to fulfill the role which WG has intended for it (head-on brawler), - 5 degrees of gun depression plus an unimpressive mobility don't compensate for the lack of effective armour. Both obj 705 and obj. 705A really need an armour buff, otherwise they are going to suck big way and no one will be really interested in playing them.

What are you talking about? The T-54 has been available from the same line all along to which there has been little change. Let alone 3 revisions changing how one can approach the T-54.

There have been at least 2 revisions that removed paths to the T-54.

For a while, one could go through the tier 8 T-54LT to get the T-54. When WG expanded the LT lines to T10, they seem to have removed any connections to the T-54 from the line.

Similarly, one could unlock the T-54 from the object 416 until this update. Now one can't, and there's considerably less reason to go up that line than there was before 9.22. No tier 10 is acessable from it right now, and no way to know when the new 10 will show, or how good or bad it will be.

I'm not sure what other options might have existed beyond these 2, but before their removal and the buffs to the T-44, both were considered easier grinds than the path through the T-44.

In the same boat as you. Also submitted a ticket. Got a complete no answer answer, and still no reimbursement. Resubmitted the ticket. Hope you have better luck.
